Trying to find the right size uv protective filter for this lens as I ordered the wrong size. Can't find the info.

There are none. No room for a filter because the lens is protruding outward. Just be very careful and keep the lens hood on always.

It is a fisheye lens with a 180 degree view so standard filters do not fit. (My lens cap is now loose and keeps falling off so just be aware that this may also happen to you. I took the lens hood to the local camera shop and they inserted fresh tape on the inside of the hood to grip the lens).

Dear Patricia, you will not be able to fit any screw-in filters to this lens. This is because the front element is curved and it is protected by the built-in petal-shaped hood. Although this hood appears to have a screw thread it is actually just a series of circles (presumably to disperse any stray light that hits it). The only thing you can do to protect it is to always use the the push-on lens cap supplied when the lens is not being used. Best wishes, Simon (yatescameras.com)

There is no possibility to mount a protective filter on this lens. The lens is concave, so it protrudes in the middle of the glass. Not possible to have a filter on top. The surrounding metal lens hood will protect the glass quite well, otherwise one has to be careful with this special purpose lens when using it.

Thank you so much for the information. I bought some 58mm filters and an adapter and have held them in front. I will look for some 37mm so I can do your workaround. Thank you for the information.

Be careful ! I just purchased a bayonet-to-standard filter thread adapter to allow me to protect the open end of my lens ( It is a 105mm Series E ); and fit a filter on this. I now find that it is jammed on and I cannot remove it ! If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful ? Phil A

thanks for posting that. had the camera for years, and forgot there was such a thing. finally got a UV filter, and was baffled as to why it didn't fit, when all the info I could find said 52 was the right size. fortunately, I did have the original box, with the accessories still in it.

There are filter adapters now on Ebay, just a simple 38mm to 52mm or 55 mm for about $14. I got one and attached a 52mm UV protective filter, and bought a replacement 52mm Nikon "real" lens cap. I also got a 52mm polarizer, so i'm all set for now. The threads won't hold any accessory lenses, but they are solid enough for a protective filter.Jason

It would be helpful if you were more specific on which lens you'd be mounting the filter to. Thanks.

You need to check the size on the lens. This number will apply to lens caps and filter. Just check for the writing on the lens on the bottom end, check for this symbol Ø, and the number to the right of it gives you the size in mm.

58mm filter size. If new, the lens will come with a twist-on hood. You should always use the supplied hood, even though it will add 2.5 inches to the length of the already large lens. (It does reverse for storage) If you use the hood you will not need a filter for protection, first element will be far enough back to avoid damage. I found squeezing my fingers into the hood to apply the lens cap a hassle, so I wrapped the front edge of the hood with two layers of black electricians tape and now the top from a contained of "I can't believe it's not butter" fits perfectly on the outside. Looks Mickey Mouse, but I don't care.

I'm not sure.........but check the mm indication on your lens to see what size filter it takes.

If you have the UV system, the replacement filter is 10-0186. I just looked on my replacement filter.

The uv filter is a 52 mm what is the Canon lens filter size ?? if it's 52mm then it will work

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

Yup the 25mm f/1.4 lens uses 46mm filters. As the previous three answers said. I just looked at the Amazon page for this lens and I was surprised to see that this information does not appear on that page. In the "what other people bought..." section it does show a 46mm UV haze filter, but really for a lens that does take filters the technical info should give the filter size it takes.

Look inside the front bezel of whichever lens you want the filter for - you will see a marking that has a symbol that looks like a 0 with a / through it - followed by a number. The number is the size in mm that you need for any accessory that screws into the bezel - like a filter. Probably 55.

There were two different versions of this lens, with different size filters. Look for a circle with a slash through it on the front of the lens. The number beside this is the size you need. Ebay is the best place to find one. Hope this works for you.

Dear Narmina, are you asking for the kit lens? Then it is a 40.5mm thread size. Otherwise, it will depend on the lens, as each e-mount lens has a different thread size. I don't know how much you know about photography, but having a multi-coated UV filter ALL the time is always a good idea to protect the lens (unless you have another filter on it, of course). I tend to have the UV and a Circular Polarizer for most of my glass. B+W and Hoya are my preferred brands (Tiffen would come third, with some good filter too). There's no point buying a good lens and putting a cheap filter on top of it. Hope it helps.
